Notes for Teachers

Teaching “A dog and a ball” to kids

In this charming world of innocence and discovery, we find ourselves immersed in the simple joys of life through the eyes of a child. A delightful encounter unfolds as we observe a dog and a ball, a classic pairing that sparks joy in the heart of any child. The magic lies not just in the objects themselves, but in the shared joy between the dog and the ball, as witnessed by the keen observer.  As our attention shifts, we meet a boy entering the scene, his gaze drawn to the lively interaction between the dog and the ball. The interconnectedness of their world becomes evident, a world where the dog sees the ball, the observer sees the dog, and the boy becomes a part of this enchanting circle of perception.

A man and his hat

Stepping into a broader panorama, a man comes into view, adorned with a hat that adds a touch of character to his presence. With a car at his disposal, he introduces another layer to this world of wonders. The man not only drives the car but extends his vision to include the observer. Amidst this unfolding narrative, a dog finds its place within the man’s car, a cozy haven that adds a touch of warmth to the overall tableau.

The world of Apples

Three good apples, one red and two yellow, become the focal point.  A simple act of kindness and sharing adds a sweet note to the narrative, reinforcing the importance of generosity and positive behavior.

Friendship

Friendship takes center stage as we encounter Frank, May, and the observer. Frank, with his two apples, becomes a part of this wholesome tale of camaraderie. May expresses a desire for a red apple, and Frank graciously offers to fulfill her wish, highlighting the beauty of friendship and the joy found in giving.

Birds

The story takes a gentle turn as we explore the world of nature—a nest cradling little birds. Despite their inability to fly, there is a promise of beauty in their gradual transformation. The absence of the big bird creates an opportunity for the observer to nurture and feel a connection with these fledglings, imparting a lesson on patience and the cyclical nature of life.
